Rated Top 5 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2006! The Exodus 1959 commemorates the exodus of expert Cuban cigar families and their impact on the cigar industry after the nationalization of all tobacco farms and cigar factories by the Cuban government in 1959. The Toranos were one of those families. This cigar has rich and bold flavors with a dynamic blend of tobaccos from five different countries, including a Honduran Habano wrapper, Honduran binder and long-filler blend from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
